• Ji Yan offered Fang Xu the cracked oil-paper umbrella in exchange for food, and Fang Xu found that he could not open it because it housed a Grudge Eerie.
• Ji Yan revealed that he wanted more food, and the blood-clothed eerie shadow appeared and used its power to make Fang Xu collapse.

Ji Yan learned from Bai Xu that the Eerie Food Tower belonged to Libra Ruin in the abandoned dungeon Eternal Night Sin City, and that the zodiac totems might hold a route back to the Order dungeon.

On the Eerie Food Tower’s second floor, Ji Yan and Bai Xu discovered that the players’ plentiful meals came from eerie fetuses they were forced to bear for the floor’s Eater Embryo Eerie. The chapter left Ji Yan realizing that he and Bai Xu might already have conceived fetuses themselves.

• At the top of the tower, the Eerie Lord rejected his meal and ordered the Eerie Butler to bring him a new, high-quality player after letting the player climb higher first.
